Have been having some very frustrating issues with the main program I use on my work computer. Started an IT ticket but they were slow as usual so I figured what the hey I will just try uninstalling and reinstalling. Seemed like a great idea until it wouldn't install again and now I have been at a work stoppage for nearly 24 hours with little help from IT.

Just sent you a pm about this -- I have pics of the 10 pages of cookie recipes from the 1976 book. The next page goes to cakes.

After seeing your cookbook shelf I have a question for you. I don't know the pub date, but my book was a wedding gift in 1976. It is CLEARLY well loved...and well used! ;) One small problem - I am missing two pages from the cookie section - pages 117/118 and 119/120. Below are pictures of the surrounding pages. If you have an edition with the same pages 116 & 121, would you please please please take pictures for me of the pages I am missing? Thank you!!!

Not exactly sure.
Looking at the national Covid numbers. I can say that I am not disappointed that we didn't make New York. I remember researching the situation and New York was kinda playing if off. We would have been on the subway there (I remember the news was amazed at a 10 percent drop on ridership the day before we were supposed to leave, that is still a huge amount of people). By the time we would have left we would have been right at the ramp up of it.

I am so glad I got out of that area. I was in White Plains (about 35 minutes north by train), and I can just imagine how crazy it is up there. Everything is just packed in so tight even up in the suburbs.

Wherever I go, there I am.
Are you kidding??!!??? Norwegians don't play cards, for crying out loud! That's almost like dancing or copulation! You go wash your mouth out with soap RIGHT NOW!
No kidding here. I know whole clans of Norwegians who play cards, dance, and copulate (though not usually at the same time, I'm guessing, and never in my presence if they do).
